05/14 - New interface for WSU Library catalog


Starting May 13 you may notice a new look and feel to the Library’s catalog.  

To better serve WSU's students, faculty, and staff we are upgrading to a new version of MnPALS Plus .  The new version retains all functionality of the current interface, as well as adding new functionality such as:
  • Mobile Interface
  • Alphabetic browse of call numbers, titles, subjects, etc
  • Enhanced advanced search functionality
  • Patron Empowerment features with “Your Account”:
    • Saving searches
    • Ability to select records and store in favorite lists, then print or email those lists
    • Options to maintain multiple “favorites” lists
    • Ability to select and renew multiple loans
    • Ability to select multiple Interlibrary loans to renew or cancel
    • Ability to select and cancel multiple holds
    • Ability to select multiple bookings to cancel
  • Ability to link directly to a blank ILL request form
  • Suggested topics (subjects) based on your original search
  • Faster displays of facets
The upgrade also lays the groundwork for possible future enhancements such as improved authentication capabilities (using WSU ID/passwords) and amplified discovery systems.  

We think will enjoy using the new version and that it will help you effectively research the Library’s many local and external resources.

Note:  From the Library's homepage, please refresh your browser (using the circular arrow), this will ensure you have the most current version of the Library's homepage which includes all of the updated links to our catalog and other resources.  You may also need to clear your computer's cache.
